Description
Poetry is not only a verse on a sheet of blank paper. It is colored with a tear, with a smile of good memories. It is a decision about whether a poet wants to leave his good heart to everyone as an accomplishment of his destiny and his life. Poetry is not imagination, it is a real event. True poets write real poetry.

This evocative collection hovers around history, trauma, and absence-from ancestral histories of anti-Semitic discrimination in the former Soviet Union to the poet's travels, while pregnant with her son, to death camp sites in Poland. As a descendant of Holocaust...

Description
Much of the language that makes up Better Nature-the first poetry collection by writer and academic Fenn Stewart-is drawn from a diary that Walt Whitman wrote while travelling through Canada at the end of the nineteenth-century.
But rather than waxing poetic about the untouched Great White North, Stewart inlays found materials (early settler archives, news stories, email spam, fundraising for environmental NGOs, and more) to present a unique view...

Two couples, each with a twelve-year-old child, travel to Paris; within a few moments of discovering each other in a crowd, one of their children disappears. A day later, one of the mothers disappears, too.

I did not realize what this year would entail, but I did know my God was mighty enough to restore all that the locusts had eaten away (Joel 2:25). Poetically Restored: A Journey of Healing incorporates my personal story of healing that I...

Treat others as you want to be treated. Do not leave important words for later. Do not keep your thoughts hidden deep inside if they can make one's day or inspire someone, because 'later' will never come, and the right moment will be gone. Be careful with your words; once they've been said, they can only be forgiven, not forgotten.
